Good to see that science polices itself in its constant search for fact-based truth. This is more proof that science, when applied properly, works.

How AGW has continued to exist for 6 years or so is a testament to funding formulas, not the scientific method.

So sad that philosophy has no such mechanism to even vet the basics.

I agree absolutely. But AGW has been around longer than that. I recall reading scare stuff about it in the 1980s -- plenty of time for real science to call BS. But "scientific correctness" -- the party line required for funding and job security -- is undermining the true scientific method.
